Introduction
The students like using technology all the time, if possible. Keeping them motivated and actively participative in class has become a challenging task. Using multimedia audio-visual aids in the English classroom has become a must if we want to increase the students’ interest, knowledge and proficiency in the English language. Modern technologies offer possibilities to integrate the visual aids into the language classrooms. The older generations remember the way they were taught foreign languages: from printed books, pictures, drawings, very few didactic films or realia mainly to help students associate words for common objects and the objects themselves. It was good to teach concrete vocabulary. But when it comes to more complex or subtle one then there was a problem. Nowadays the teachers have at their disposal so many modern ways to teach a foreign language, to bring the real world into the classroom.
Printed texts alone are no longer attractive for the ‘thumb generation’. By using various forms of communication into class like illustrations, diagrams, drama, charts, mime, models, overhead projectors or multimedia presentations we enable students to understand and learn. The use of visuals in the classroom makes the students more interested, more attentive to the topic presented as they are provided with a more meaningful context. Thus, they become more participative and communicative. Teachers at their turn have learnt how to be more creative by using media in class to make the teaching and learning process become interesting and enjoyable. Nowadays, teachers need- more than academic expertise. They should be able to use the teaching strategies and aids that fit the students’ expectations as well. The teachers should support the communicative interaction in class and both the modern technological means and didactical software can be of great help.
In developing skills like speaking or writing, students can use a wide range of forms such as: tables, graphs, charts, diagrams, photographs, you tube films to convey spoken or written messages. By oral presentations on given topics they enhance the speaking competence while the organization of ideas in a written form or making up dialogues for example, help them enhance writing. By simply viewing a PowerPoint presentation not only have the students the opportunity to acquire information visually transmitted by the teacher or fellow students but also they become more interested and involved in the activities in class. The language acquisition can be achieved by using meaningful visuals that are more helpful in the students’ memorization of new vocabulary or structures. Along the academic semesters the visual materials used help the teachers show the students the culture of the foreign language, the customs and the body language so meaningful during the real-life communication, the military traditions or logistics specific to English speaking countries or NATO partners.
Contemporary culture has become increasingly dependent on the visual mainly for its capacity to send messages, photos etc. in an instant all over the world. Due to the modern technologies such as computers and interactive whiteboards, teachers have increased possibilities to integrate visual materials into a lesson. No matter which teaching method you choose to use, visual aids will make a difference. Students no longer accept dull, boring presentations when the teacher is speaking and the students sit quietly and take notes. They want active participation in the teaching process. The teacher becomes an actor and the students are invited to participate in the play staged in class. Starting with simple gestures and pantomimes to pictures, photographs and slides all are used “to make the activities more motivating and meaningful for the students”. Thomas, M. and Keinders, H. [1] as well as Mannan stress the fact that the use of visuals ‘help the teacher to clarify, establish, correlate and coordinate accurate concepts, interpretations and appreciations, and enable him to make learning more concrete, effective, interesting, inspirational, meaningful and vivid’ [2] Moriarty finds an explanation claiming that it is specific to human beings to develop their visual language skills before the verbal language development” [3] offering a possible explanation for “the need of pictorial information rather than textual among young students “as he explained. Paivio [4], on the other hand, developed his own theory based on the idea that “cognitive growth is stimulated by the balance between verbal and visual experiences in the early stages of learning while Arif and Hashim’s own research proved that “pictures gained better attention than words”, and that “pictures became the main clue in interpreting the meaning of the words”. [5] Experts as teachers alike agree that visuals help arising the readers’ interest, curiosity and motivation. Most of the language teachers seem to agree that the use of visuals can enhance language teaching and that the real world brought into the classroom can “make learning more meaningful and more exciting” [6]. Bamford advises the teachers to take into consideration the fact that visual literacy is the best way “to obtain information, construct knowledge and build successful educational outcomes”. She asserts that this is “due to the increase of the number of images in the world and defines visual literacy as “the ability to construct meaning from visual images” even if we agree or not “visual images are becoming the predominant form of communication across a range of learning and teaching resources.” [7] Visual materials can make a lesson more attractive and the experts agree that they help both the teachers and students in the teaching-learning process. Thus, Carneyand Levin [8] demonstrated that the “visual materials make a difference” in the process of teaching and learning, as they serve as “metal scaffolds for the students and help teachers to correlate and coordinate accurate concepts” making the learning more attractive. [9] Moreover, pictures and videos can serve as a “connection between the mother tongue and English, so direct translations are not needed” and neither “the excessive explanations and translations” [10] All the teaching methods used in class over the years starting with the direct approach, the audio-lingual method or the comprehension-based approach made use of visuals or tape recordings to avoid the use of mother tongue in class. The Communicative Language Teaching stressed the need for real life objects or texts to give authenticity to the communicative situation as: “Non native speakers (both inside the classroom and outside the classroom) make use of the here and now objects in the immediate environments”
